FIGURE 1 Quantitative TA measurement of the antiapoptotic and proapoptotic isoforms of the BCLX gene, designated BCLxL and BCLxS, respectively, in ECs from women with or without endometriosis. Data are plotted as the ratio of BCLxL:BCLxS for individual samples against the time of collection relative to the menstrual cycle. Braun. Apoptosis genes in endometrium. Fertil Steril 2007.

FIGURE 2 Quantitative TA measurement of the proapoptotic gene Caspase-1 in ECs from women with or without endometriosis. Individual values and times of collection relative to the menstrual cycle are shown for eutopic endometrium from women with (n = 10) or without (n = 6) endometriosis, and for ectopic endometrium from women with endometriosis (n = 6).

FIGURE 3 Quantitative TA measurement of the proapoptotic gene p53 in ECs from women with or without endometriosis. Individual values and times of collection relative to the menstrual cycle are shown for eutopic endometrium from women with (n = 10) or without (n = 6) endometriosis, and for ectopic endometrium from women with endometriosis (n = 6).

FIGURE 4 Quantitative TA measurement of the antiapoptotic gene DAD-1 in ECs from women with or without endometriosis. Individual values and times of collection relative to the menstrual cycle are shown for eutopic endometrium from women with (n = 10) or without (n = 6) endometriosis, and for ectopic endometrium from women with endometriosis (n = 6).
